What Causes a Golf Slice? | How to Fix a Slice

Posted by Todd Kolb | Jun 24, 2016 | Fix Your Slice, Instruction, Putting

06/24/2016 It is one of the most common swing mistakes. There is a lot of incorrect information out there suggesting how to fix a slice.

Many golfers have looked on with disappointment, and sometimes abject horror, as their golf ball curves in the characteristic path of a slice. Paging through golf magazines or watching tutorials online frequently offer three outdated suggestions: strengthen the grip, rotate the forearms (or hands), or slightly close the club face.

Angle of Attack: A Definition of the Term You Need To Understand (VIDEO)

Posted by Todd Kolb | Mar 1, 2016 | Instruction

03/01/2016 One fundamental definition when discussing the golf swing is the ‘angle of attack.’ Though golf jargon can be filled with technical language that is difficult to dissect, ‘angle of attack’ is fairly simple: it is the angle the center of the club head (the sweet spot!) has at the moment of impact with the golf ball. There are three basic directions that golfers use to define the angle of attack. The club head can be traveling down, which is called a negative angle of attack. It can be traveling level, or neutral, which is called zero. Finally, it...
